Irreducible loop metadata for more accurate block frequency under PGO.
Summary:
Currently the block frequency analysis is an approximation for irreducible
loops.
The new irreducible loop metadata is used to annotate the irreducible loop
headers with their header weights based on the PGO profile (currently this is
approximated to be evenly weighted) and to help improve the accuracy of the
block frequency analysis for irreducible loops.
This patch is a basic support for this.
